Saints bid to make it seven on the bounce

THE New Saints bid to make it seven wins on the bounce when they host Aberystwyth Town at Park Hall on Saturday afternoon (2.30pm).
The portents are not good for the visitors who have beaten the Saints just once on home soil in 18 outings - and that was back in 1993.
Alan Morgan's side have also struggled so far this season, with just six points from eight games, but TNS director of football Mike Davies is aware of the fickle nature of the game.
"Everything is going well, but everyone knows things can soon change," he said.
"On paper, Aberystwyth are a very good team, they will want to make it difficult for us, particularly as there is a lot of pressure on them to do well after the start they've had.
"But we want to build on what we have achieved on the last month and the confidence is high in the camp.
"We are playing some good football and we've been more clinical, which is the difference between winning and losing games," he added.
Chris Williams is again ruled out with an ankle injury but Chris Marriott is back in training following a hamstring strain, although unlikely to figure just yet.
